The thing that drives me up a wall with Teams is that when someone shares a screenshot with me, I can only expand the thumbnail in the chat to the full-size image maybe 5% of the time successfully. Most of the time I just go into a blank tab that never renders anything.
I think part of this is the fucked up way that Teams handles storing content, because it uses a mishmash of SharePoint sometimes for real file attachments, and some ephemeral blob storage for pasted images.
But it's infuriating because there is no error message, or any way to force reload; you just have to keep trying and hope it works, or go into your AppData folder, nuke the cache, and restart Teams.
- xmcqdpt2 5y agoDamn I thought I was alone! I get this about half the time too, although now I think I've identified a pattern: the second time I maximize in a given conversation always breaks down. The "fix" is to click on another conversation and then come back. It really doesn't make sense to me how such a simple common functionality would break in such a major product. Do they not use Teams... at Microsoft? Did they not notice?
- liversage 5y agoThanks for this tip. I usually resolve this by opening Teams in the browser and find the image I need to see. It's very disruptive that an important UI feature randomly (or perhaps reliably) fails.
